Sook Hwang Stitched
Emotion II exhibition
Friday-Sunday, 10am-
4pm
In Stitched Emotion
II, textile artist Sook
Hwang uses fabric dyeing
and freehand machine
embroidery to process and
narrate human emotions
and feelings. She uses her
work to express extreme
opposites of emotional
states; juxtaposing optimism
through her regular
use of rich colours, with
the harsher complexities
of feeling suggested by
coarse-grained materials,
such as raw silk. She uses
the stitches of her intricate
embroidery to bring these
forces together in “a point
of magical fusion”.
